Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - April 23, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Senate Group Adds $28 Million to Regents' Budgets By Frank Nye DES MOINES - Two sure signs that the legislature is nearing adjournment are (I) appointment of a house sifting committee and (2) committee approval of appropriation bills for board of regent institutions. House Speaker Andrew Var-ley (R-Stuart) appointed the sifting committee last week. Monday, the senate appropria-ations committee approved two bills adding a total of $28,324,000 to the 1973-75 budgets of the regents institutions. One bill contains $14,202 million for capital improvements at the five institutions.

At Bohemian Savings &amp;&nbsp;Loan, well see that you get it. Whether you’re considering a 5% account, a 7-1/2% certificate, or one of the three savings options in between, we’ll make sure you /u//y understand the terms of each. So your money can always carn its maximum. A lot of people actually lose money by going for the high certificate rates, thinking they'll come out ahead even if they withdraw their money before the scheduled time. Not so! By law, an early withdrawal automatically forces any interest earned to be paid at the lower passbook rate. In addition, 3 IIT 5 Were months of interest is forfeited as a penalty! So, money withdrawn early from certificate accounts actually earns less than it would have in a regular passbook account. We point out this fact — and others that could affect your earnings — before you save. As a result of this extra interest we take in you, you can often end up with extra interest in your pocket! And once you decide to save, TRANS MATIC service can help you save regularly.
